REPLENISHING DEVICE;

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 2, i909.

Application filed July 16, 1908. Serial No. 443,785.

To all whom it may concern:

i 14, which has an upper forked extremity Be it known thatl, JERMAINCnAnDLER, or guide 15. While the Weighting of lever a citizen of the United States, residing at 8 is suchthat it will normally rest in down Toledo, Lucas county, Ohio, have invented new and useful Re'plenishing Devices, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a replenishing device for readily supplying or feeding material as from a reservoir to a tool for distribution.

This invention has utility when adapted to transfer pigment, and especially in constructioiis for inking ruling pens, wherein the operation may be most rapidly and no curately performed with the pen alone when is transmitted to inove the guide 15 toward held as usual in the hand for drawing.

Referring to the drawings: Figure l is a perspective view of an embodiment of the invention in a ruling pen inker, the device being in the position of inking a pen as; viewed by'onc looking toward the user. thereoi'; Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the device, apart from the reservoir or ink bottle, with the parts in position assumed when the bottle would be closed; and Fig. 3 is a plan view t fthe mechanism shown in Fig. 2.

The reservoir is here shown as a bottle 1, i having a neck provided with an opening,

and about this neck is CltllllPOtllllL replenishei.

The replenisher comprises, in the disclosed embodiment of the invention the support or frame member 2. i\let,lially ol this frame 2 is disposed the strap or clamp element 3 of sen'iicircular form, which is drawn by bolts 4- having nuts 5 into position adjacent a similarly formed portion t of support 2, so i that the parts closely cngagc the neck of the bottle I and firmly hold the i'cpleiiishcr in proper rclation as to the opening. On one extension of the l'ramc 2 from the clamp is pivot 7 for lever member 8 which carries closure 9 for the bottle opening. From this closure. ex-

tends the supply carrying member or quill" It), which is partially immersed in the substance to he ted from the reservoir, when the 'lhe piv-.

closure is covcringtho opening.

and t5 coact as a clamp to otcd lcvcr H is provided with a contact lug 11, which when the closure is withdrawn abuts stop 12 on the frame .2, so limiting the travel of the lever 8 that when free it will normally resent. the closure over the open-- ing to keep the bottle or reservoir closed.

()ii the extension of frame 2 remote from where it is slidably poised.

the opening of the reservoir, and simultaneously through the operating connections be tween levers l4 and S, the closure 9 is removed and the quill it) comes into proximity with the line of travel of the guided pe n, so that the quill may be drawn through the pen or the pen drawn about the quill until inked as desired. Then removing the pen and proceeding with work without further attcntioii to the ink supply until neXtdesired. permits the parts of the replenisher to assume their normal position of rest-with the closure) at once effective to shut the reservoir opening and with the lever 14 in up position.

In assembling, the closure is placed in position over the opening, and when so held the clamp is drawnv up to hold the replenisher or feed device in such position. By the control of lever l-t from the pen. the quill 10 may be held still while the pen is slid through the guide 15, or the quill may be moved through the pen. Lever H is thus an actuator for the closure and quill. In assuming idle position, closure 9 pulling lever 8 down, may withdraw lever 14, but the ad- .dition of weight 16 renders more stable the position of rest of this lever 14 whenretracted.

The device. though simple in construction, is most durable, and possesses especial value owing to the certainty with which it may be operated with the writing tool held as in drawing, thus avoiding delayv incident to changing about of tool in the hand, as well as permitting the other hand to hold the work during inking.

What is claimed and it is desired to secure bv licttcrs latcut is:

i t. \n inking device comprising a pen guiding member with which a pen may slidin iy coach, an ink carrying member movnb e toward the pen guiding member, and connecting means extending from the guiding member to the carrying member to move the cnrryin member.

2. An in ring device comprising :1 en guiding member with Which a pen may s idmgly eoect, an ink withdrawing member with which the sliding pen may engage to receive ink, said wiihdrajwing member movable relatively to the guidin member, and connecting means between t e members.

- 3. A. feed device comprising a guide memher for the article t o lve feel, said member eetneble by the article, a pivoted supply Wiihclrawing -mcmbcr for the article rel atively to which withdrawing member the nrcicle'inniv slide ihrongh the guide member to engage and remove from The withdrawing inembere sn 'iply iorlhe article, and connecting means extending between the mem here said actuation of the'o'nirle member effective through the connecting means to on crate the Withdrawing member.

e. A replenisher comprising a pivoted gniele for the article to be fed with which guide the ariiicle may slidingly coect, e piv-. 0 3cc; supply withdrawer movable to feed the nle the article sliel relatively to the ire v;

sup ly withdrawn, :1 pivote i opposing opening, said closure being movable and having a supply carrier, an article guide movable toward the carrier, and connecting means exl'encling from the closure to the guide.

7. The combination with a guide, of a relativeiy movable quill nctnable from the guide, and connecting means exiending from the guide to the quill 0 move the Quill.

8. The combination of a pivoted guide having an arm, n pivoleel quill having an arm, and conneciing means uniting the arms to cause simultaneous travel of line guide and quill.

9. An inking clevice comprising a frame. a pen guiding member, an ink carrying member, said members carried by the frame,

11nd an operative connecting means from the guide member to the carrying member.
